CHAR-LES S. BLAOKMAN, OF MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA.

HOLDER FOR WATER-CLOSET PAPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 316,228, dated April 21, 1885.

Application filed September 22, 1884. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES S. BLAOKMAN, of Montreal, in the Dominion of Canada, have invented a new Improvement in Holders for Water-Closet Paper; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1, a front view showing a section of the roll; Fig. 2, aperspective view ofthe holder with the roll detached.

This invention relates t a device for holding water-closet paper such as is supplied in a continuous strip, rolled, and from which the paper is taken by drawing from the roll. These rolls require to be suspended so as to permit free revolution of the roll.

The object of my invention is a cheap construction of holder; and it consists in a holder .made from a single piece of wire doubled to form a central loop, bent therefrom to form spring-arms, the extreme ends turned inward to form pivots upon which the roll may turn, the spring-arms inclined, combined with a loop around said inclined spring-arms, whereby they may be clamped into connection with the roll, as more fully hereinafter described.

The holder is made from a single piece of wire, as indicated in Fig. 2. The piece of wire is of the length required to form the holder, bent at the center to form a suspending-loop, A. From this loop the two parts are bent to form arms B O, in substantially the same plane, but inclined to each other. From the ends of the arms B O the wire is turned to the right and left, still in the same plane, to form the horizontal bar D D; thence downward to form the ends E E of the frame, the extreme ends turned inward at right angles to the ends E E toform pivots F F.

Upon the arms B O a loop, G, is arranged,

in length less than the width across the two arms at their broadest point, and so as to move up and down on said arms, as from the position in Fig. 1 to that in Fig. 2, or return.

H is an axle of wood, arranged centrally through the roll of paper, and provided at its outer ends with seats for the pivots F of the frame, as seen in Fig. 1.

To attach the roll to the frame, move the loop G down or to the narrower position of ,upon the pivots in unwinding the paper.

For convenience I provide the loop A with a screw-eye, I, by which the holder may be readily attached or suspended.

This construction is of the cheapest possible character, but yet substantial.

I claim 1. The herein-described holder for watercloset paper, made from a single piece of wire bent to form the central loop, A, inclined arms B 0, horizontal bar D, ends E E, and pivots F F, combined with the loop G around said inclined arms substantially as described.

2. The herein-described holder for watercloset paper, made from a single piece of wire bent to form a central loop, with inclined arms B 0 extending therefrom, terminating in pivots F F, combined with the loop G around said inclined arms, and with the screw-eye I on said loop, substantially as described.

CHARLES S. BLACKMAN.
